This course introduces the theory of signal and linear systems; the concepts of modeling, description, and classification of signals and systems; and specific methods of signal processing.

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of Cell Biology through the lens of Neuroscience. In addition to a limited number of core lectures on key processes such as cell division and cell organelles, a series of ‘expert lectures’ will showcase research areas at the forefront of cell biology and neuroscience that are flourishing at King’s (e.g. a lecture on Neuroimaging by Prof Steve Williams, Head of the Neuroimaging Centre in Denmark Hill). Regular practicals help students to get acquainted with laboratory approaches in cell biology. 

The study of performance is central to our understanding of modern society. Introducing key issues, debates and possibilities, the course provides a broadly contextualized understanding of how local and global social and economic conditions inform specific performative practices and the performing arts. The curriculum unpacks and explores the significance of performing culture in terms of a distinctive set of key tensions or dualisms ­– including between the everyday and stage, restoration and novelty, authenticity and inauthenticity, the participatory versus the presentational, and dis-enchantment versus re-enchantment. Advancing enquiry in relation to spontaneity, improvisation, play, the embodied nature of performance and more besides, the course encourages and enables a reflexive understanding of what performing, performance, and performativity constitute in our own lives, and how we might learn to develop them in creative ways for the benefit of ourselves and our communities.
